Darlene didn't feel the need for Keith to escort her personally.

After exchanging glances with her mother, Lucinda didn't insist. She was afraid that any form of insistence might affect the impression Keith had of Darlene.

They could only ask the bodyguards to help deliver the items Darlene bought back to the Bishops' residence.

The Bishop's mansion appeared old from the outside. It was a house built by their grandfather when he was young, and it had been home to three generations without any renovations, hence its aged appearance.

Back in the day, the Bishop sisters, Belinda and Darlene were young, and the Bishop family was going through tough times. The sisters had neither the energy nor the resources to renovate the house. When Belinda finally took the reins of the company and the Bishop family's business started to pick up, they discussed and decided to keep the house as it was.

After all, it held a multitude of memories.

Even though Belinda was usually busy during the weekends, she would return home earlier than usual.

By the time Darlene was brought home by the Blue family's bodyguards, Belinda was already waiting for her at home.

"Please convey my gratitude to Mrs. Janice, Keith, and Lucy," Darlene thanked the Blue family's bodyguards.

The bodyguards simply nodded without saying a word. After the Bishop family's household staff helped move Darlene's items into the house, they drove away. "Whose bodyguards were those? The Andersons?"

Belinda asked her sister, then added, "What on earth did you buy? Your car couldn't fit it all."

"Those were Keith's personal bodyguards from the Blue family. I had the rare chance to go shopping, so I bought whatever I liked. Sis, I guess I now understand the thrill of splurging," she laughed.

The Bishop sisters had learned to be frugal due to their family's financial situation. Even though their circumstance had improved, and Darlene was earning well, she still practiced frugality. However, after going shopping with Lucy and her mother, Darlene was heavily influenced by their carefree spending, not even blinking at the price tags of the items they bought.

Belinda treated her sister with the same gentleness that Keith showed towards Lucinda.

She laughed and said, "If you like it, then buy it. We're not short of money now."
